Fraley (hernia) began a rehab assignment with the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Saturday, going 0-for-3 as the designated hitter.

Fraley is expected to get a few more at-bats at the rookie level before joining Triple-A Durham on Tuesday. Manager Kevin Cash believes the outfielder is on a "really good schedule," per MLB.com. Fraley has been on the injured list with a hernia for about a month and a half, but he has a chance to return to the Rays prior to the All-Star break in mid-July.

Ramos (quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day IL on Sunday, and he's likely to see more playing time in right field, Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News reports.

Ramos last saw action for San Francisco on May 15 before being placed on the IL due to a right quad strain the following day. The 26-year-old kicked off a rehab assignment June 17 and has gone 9-for-26 with one home run, three doubles and two RBI over seven games. Since Ramos has been sidelined, Bryce Eldridge has thrived as the Giants' designated hitter while Casey Schmitt has played well while starting in left field. With that in mind, Schmitt is set to retain his role in that position, which will likely push Ramos to right field and move Jung Hoo Lee from right to center. That setup should remain consistent until Harrison Bader (foot), who doesn't have a clear timetable for a return, per delos Santos, is able to get back on the field.

Trout (hamstring) took 30 swings and ran at about 50 percent intensity Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout said he took 15 swings off a tee and 15 flips, so he's not yet ready to bat in the cage or face live pitching. Still, it's notable progress for the veteran outfielder, who resumed on-field activities Tuesday. Given that he still has multiple obstacles to clear -- most importantly, running at full capacity -- Trout probably won't be activated until at least early July.

Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Astros.

The 28-year-old slugger came to the plate with the bases loaded in the third inning and got hold of a hanging curveball from Kai-Wei Teng, depositing it in the right-field seats. It was Carpenter's 12th homer of the year and, remarkably, the first grand slam of the season for the Tigers. Carpenter's gone yard in back-to-back games, and over 22 contests in June he's batting .234 (15-for-64) with seven long balls and 18 RBI.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Hernandez (hamstring) will be activated off the injured list ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Athletics, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Hernandez has been sidelined since May 27 due to the hamstring strain, but he began a rehab stint with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday and has gone 3-for-11 with three homers and six RBI through three games. The veteran slugger has started in left field in all three of those minor-league contests, so he's had the opportunity to test out the hamstring on defense. Hernandez's return to the Dodgers will likely mean that Ryan Ward will get significantly less playing time, and Alex Call's opportunities could shrink as well. However, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports that Los Angeles is expected to limit Hernandez to "roughly 3-to-4 games a week" initially upon his activation, so there should still be opportunities for Ward and/or Call to get some starts.

The Angels optioned Moore to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Moore joined the active roster last week and went 4-for-20 with an RBI and 11 strikeouts while appearing in six games. With Jose Siri returning from the paternity list Saturday, Moore will now head back to the minors, where he sports a 1.053 OPS across 252 plate appearances. If his bat heats up again at Triple-A, the 23-year-old could draw consideration for another promotion later this summer.

The Angels reinstated Siri from the paternity list Saturday.

Siri is active for the Angels after spending the last couple of days on paternity leave. Before missing time, the 30-year-old slashed .275/.338/.493 with four homers and 16 RBI in 79 plate appearances this season. However, Siri is not in the starting lineup Saturday as Josh Lowe will remain in center field and bat ninth. Christian Moore was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room for Siri on the roster.

Schneemann isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Schneemann will take a day to collect himself after going just 1-for-24 at the plate with 10 strikeouts across his last eight games. Gabriel Arias will pick up a start at third base and bat seventh.

Philadelphia signed Pham to a minor-league deal on Saturday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Pham had been a free agent for just over two weeks after being released by Baltimore on June 12. This will be the 38-year-old's third organization of 2026 after recording 14 plate appearances for the Mets in April. In Pham's most recent action with Triple-A Norfolk, he slashed .175/.254/.381 with four homers in 71 plate appearances.

Carrigg is not in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against Minnesota.

After going 0-for-4 with a walk, strikeout and a run scored in the series opener against Minnesota on Friday, Carrigg will ride the bench Saturday. Jake McCarthy will take over in center field and lead off for Colorado.
